THE MKCLLLMRY OK THE VOMiREI.S
I OK CAISKYIN® ELECTIONS.
It seems strange to some people that
a minority of the voters of the L nior. ,
should be aiile to hold the power of the
government, despite the efforts of the
majority to wrest it from them. We
say that the minority has controlled the
majority, because from the day on
which Mr. Lincoln was first elected
President, to the present hour, the so
called "Republican" party has not been
able to poll a majority of the votes of
the whole Union. In 1800 the vote for
Douglas, Bell and Breckinridge com
bined, exceeded that given to Lincoln,
bv about one million ! Nor have the
lapse of six years and a bloody interne
cine war, changed the relative strength
of ]K>litical parties. To-day there are
3,500,000 voters who adhere to the great
Conservative organization of the coun
try, whilst there are scarcely 2,500,000
who vote with the so-called "Republi
can" party. True, in the Northern
States the Conservatives poll but about
2,000,000; but in the Southern States,
there are not, all told, 200,000 "Repub
lican" voters. On the other band, the
South furnishes at least L,5n0,000 voters
to the Conservative column. Thus it !
will IK? seen that the party which now
rules the country, and which has ruled
it during the lastix years, lac ks one
million of votes to make it equal in j
numbers to its opponents. How is it.
then, that this minority governs the
majority? The question is susceptible
of an easy solution.
1. The people of ten States, a million
of voters, are utterly excluded from all
representation or participation, in the
government.
2. In the twenty-six States represen
ted in the government, a large propor
tion of the Conservative voters is dis
franchised by partizan legislation.
These are facts that no man, whatev
er may IK.? his political predilections,
will undertake to deny. By the exclu
sion of ten States from the Union,
which shuts out one million of voters
from all participation in the govern
ment, and by the disfranchisement of
thousands of voters in the remaining
twenty-six States, the so-called "Re
publican" party, though really in a mi
nority, maintains itself in power. In
Pennsylvania, the "Deserter" law dis
franchises sixty thousand persons, for so
many names are found upon the lists
printed by the? Adjutant General for
the use of Election officers. One half
of these, doubtless, are "Republicans,"
but they are permitted to vote, for
•Democratic election boards do not re
gard the law as binding, whilst "Re
publican" boards receive their votes,
there being no objection by their own
parly and the Democrats abstaining
from opposition, as a matter of princi
ple. But the other half, the thirty
thousand Democrats, what of the-e?
Why, in every district in which the
"Republicans" have control of the elec
tion boards, their votes are rejected.
Thus, whilst 20,iino "Republican" de
serters were allowed to vote, at least
20,000 DemiK-rats were disfranchised at
the late election. In New York city
and Brooklyn, they have what is called
a "Registration of voters," a scheme
gotten up by the "Republicans" to
prevent the full Democratic strength
from being polled in those cities. Ev
ery citizen must go before the officers
of Registration and swear himself
through as a voter, or his vote will not
I"' received on election-day. This law
was passed only for these cities, and the
officers wliich execute it, are appointed
by the "Republican" State authorities.
lii the rural districts, where the "Re-
publican"strength lies, there isnosueh
restraint upon the rights of citizens.
Be-ides, the polls in these two cities tire
closed before six o'clock, in ordei to
prevent laboring men, who are gener
ally Democrats, from getting to the
polls in time to vote. Then, tlio poll
ing-places are purposely limited to so
small a number that thousands fail,
from want of time, to get near the bal
lot-box. Thus, tens of thousands of the
immense Democratic vote of New York
and Brooklyn remain unpolled from
year to year. This year there were
registered in these two Democratic
strongholds, f75,0<>0 voters, yet the
whole vote polled is but J(*2,000, show
ing that 13,000 voters did not get to the
polls, and that there is in these two ci
ties, a Democratic majority of about
70,000, if every legal voter could exer
cise this right of suffrage. But the
means used in Pennsylvania and New
York, to maintain the ascendency of
the "Republican" party, are of a mild
and innocent character, when compared
with the outrageous and infernal des
potism exercised by the minority in
Missouri, Maryland and West Virgin
ia. In these States there is also a sys
tem of Registration, but of a far more
stringent and partizan character than
that of New York. The Registrars
are the judges of the voter's loyalty,
ami if lie cannot answer upon oath that
lie never had any sympathy with the
South, that he never spoke disrespect
fully of Abraham Lincoln, o • any oili
er demi-god of and, in
short, if he does not swear that he is
heart and soul with the "Republican"
party, he is not registered. In this way
two-thirds of the people of Maryland,
West Virginia and Missouri, have been
disfranchised for the last six years.
Happily, the stand taken by Governor
Swann, of Maryland,has del ivered that
State from this miserable despotism,
and siie now stands before the world,
as she always was at heart, a Conserva
tive State, by an overwhelc ?ing major
ity. Rut West Virginia and Missouri
are less favored in this respect. Their
people are still under the yoke of this
diabolical tyranny of a petty minority.
There was no Gov. Swann in either of
these States to stand up for popular
rights.
Such is the machinery by which the
Mongrel "Republicans" earrv elections.
11 cannot last long. Its wheels are rot
ten. For the time being the people are
crushed beneath it, but ere many days
they will rise under its weight, and,
with thestrength of an angry giant, hurl
it*from them. Let those who trust in
it, beware!
THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.
Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, Mas
sachusetts, Wisconsin and New York
elected the Mongrel Disunion ticket,
as they have done for the last three
I years, some of them for fifteen years.
Missouri was also carried against us
by the forcible disfranchisement of at
' least one half its legal voter;?. In that
State, however, we gain several mem
bers of Congress. New York elects
the Mongrel ticket l>v from 8,000 to
12,000, but the Democrats gain two
memlKTs of Congress and about 15,000
over last year, on the popular vote.
New York city gives the unprecedent
ed majority of 40,000 for the Democrat
ic ticket. Horace Greeley is beaten
10,000 for Congress. In all the other
States above mentioned, we hold our
own as to members of Congress. New
Jersey did not elect a State ticket. The
Democrats gained one Congressman
and lost Rogers' district by running
two candidates, and Wright's by the
defection in Newark. In Maryland
j and Delaware the Democracy made a
clean sweep. Maryland elects four
Democrats and one Mongrel to Con
gross, and gives 20,000 Democratic ma
jority. It would have lieen 40,000, had
every legal voter been permitted to
east lira ballot. Delaware gives 1,5<>0
Democratic majority. The Democracy
have stood up gallantly and are deter
: mined to "light it out on this line if it
takes"—th<? remainder of this century.
| Two millions of Democrats in the
; Northern States can neither 1M? voted
nor bullied into silence. We arc bound
; to win in the end, just us sure as the
l right is bound to triumph!
IN company with Col. J. 11. Filler
j and District Attorney Palmer, of this
place, we spent some pleasant days
campaigning in our neighboring State
of Maryland. A more hospitable and
generous hearted people tlmn those of
Maryland do not exist any where. We
-pent some of onr time in Cumberland,
Md., where we wero most hospitably
and elegantly entertained. Our thanks
are espeyiaiiy due to Col. J. Philip Ro
man, E. Fuller, Esq., and Mr. Kight,
proprietor of the Barnutn House, for
| their marked civlities during our stay
in that platv. < )ld CumlK-rland is sound
: to the core, and we shall always regard
her people with toolings of admiration
! and affection.
WOULDN'T be plucked—the Mary
land Swan.
"MAB YEANn, MY MAKYtASI)."
The black tide of Northern Disun
ion ism, has at last struck its fierce
wave upon a rock it could not overtop.
Glorious Maryland rolls back the tur
gid billows. Not only has Maryland
redeemed her own people from the di
abolisrn of a tyrannical minority, but
she lias opened the way for that tri
umph of popular liberty throughout
the whole Union, which must soon
! come in the restoration of the equality
I of all the States.

A LATE issue of the Bedford Inqui
rer has an article devoted to the "croak
ers" in its party, who have come to
!
| the conclusion that there is no use to
i try to elect a Mongrel ticket in this
I county. These gentlemen are tired of
1 the deception practised upon them by
i the Inquirer, and because they com
: piain of its delusive statements, it pro
nounces them "croakers." For the
last five years it has been the practice
! of that sheet to assure its readers that
i its party would carry the county; "on
ly let our friends work and turn out to
j the election," it would say, "and we
j will redeem Bedford county from Cop
perhead rule." In this way the "Re
; publicans" of the county were made to
j sweat and bleed (at their pockets) from
time to time, only to see their candi
dates handsomely beaten in the end.
. The Inquirer deceived them, knowing
! ly and wilfully deceived them, and
now it refuses them the poor privilege
of "croaking" over its decept ion. Hang
up your fiddle, boys ; Bedford county
will increase her Democratic majority
next year, as sure as the sun will
rise on election day.
Wo believe the people of Somerset

LETTER nion EXCEE TOBY.
MR. EDITOR:—"UncIe Toby" is in a
bad humor and well he may be. A
fellow who signs himself "Pilgrim,"
has been writing for the "Bedford In
! quirer," slandering the peopleof South-1
ampton and Cumberland Valley, and
| what is worse, he is said to claim to be i
the identical personage who formerly
wrote for the GAZETTE under the norn
deplume of "Uncle Toby!" Why the
very idea i- enough to make my blood
boil! "Uncle Toby," in the Shadow of
the Mountain, communing with Na
ture and with Nature's God; "Uncle j
Toby," preaching the Gospel of "Peace !
on Earth, Good Will toward Menj
i "Uncle Toby," the mild, gentle, gen
erous minister of the meek and lowly j
Nazareno, finding fault with the hare ;
feet of the Southampton children and!
sitting like a sneaking eaves-dropper i
in a country store to jot down for a i
black-guard newspaper, the innocent
sayings of his own neighbors; why,
the very thought of such a thing is e
nough to drive saint into a passion.
! People ought to know, it appears to
! me, that "Uncle Toby" couldn't be j
guilty of so vile conduct as that. Be- j
■ sides, "Uncle Tohv" never meddles j
in polities. The editors of the "Inqui- !
I " refused to publish his articles last
year, because they did not savor enough \
of politics. They treated him so out
rageously bad, that he could never so
■'degrade himself as to write for that
sheet again. No, no, people mustn't
think for a moment that "Uncle Tohv"
is "Pilgrim!" I don't see how it is
possible to confound them. "Uncle j
Toby" wrote tolerable grammar, his :
orthography was not bad, and last, but j
not least, there was some sense and a
good deal ot decency in his articles, j
But a fellow who can fly into print
with a hotch-pot of abuse of homely i
women and bare-footed children, sim- j
ply because they are homely and bare- ;
footed, and can sit, like a sneak, inaj
store, or post office, to gather up the j
crumbs of his neighbors' gossip to '
spread them before the readers of a j
; newspaper, and that too in a style that i
is absolutely disgusting, has nothing in j
common with "Uncle Toby." Now,
my dear Editor, don't let your readers
remain undertheimpression that seems
to have got abroad that I am this eow
j ardly, miserable, sneaking "Pilgrim."'
I want to retain the respect of the peo
ple of this country and, therefore, 1 do
hope you will assist me in removing i
( this false impression. I have great es- !
i teem for you, Mr. Editor, and I often
said 1 would vote for you and I did as
sure as lam not "Pilgrim." We send
i you greeting from the Shadow of the
Mountain. UNCLE TOBY.
(Valley, Nov. 7.1866.
THE New York World of a recent
date gets off the following excellent hit
! on the electioneering stories of the
! Mongrels:
We were about to say that the fol- j
! lowing New Orleans despatch is cop
ied from the New York Tribune. That
may be a mistake, but there is no in-j
j ternal evidence of it:
Armed organizations of ox-rebel sol- j
! diers are drilling nightly upon Canal
I street. It is reported that Jeff. Davis I
I has escaped from prison and is in com- j
inand. No Union man dare show him- j
, self on the streets after sunset. A vi- j
| olent rebel threatened to pull down the ;
I Custom House, and but for the timely j
j arrival of the Eighteenth Corps, would j
i have executed his threat. Mayor Mon-J
| roe hung himself and then killed his!
family, in order, as he afterwards sta- j
! ted, to avoid the just indignation of !
| Union citizens. The commanding
general takes his meals regularly in
j spite of rebel threats. It is stated on
! good authority that the MUsissippi
; river is undermined. .Several rebel
i cruisers came up the river yesterday to
see whether the reported rebel surren
j der of the confederate authorities was
! correct. Being told that it was, they
cursed the United States government,
I and after hiking coal and provisions
! went down to Barataria.
i Unfortunately the war vessels in port
j were unable to get up steam in time
!to overhaul them. People here do not
j hesitate to speak openly in favor of I
! President Johnson and the Constitu- j
j tion. One man went so far as to say i
, "it—n the Radicals." The ex-rebels
I are in destitute condition, and in some
j portions of the city are eating their
! children.

'! The St. Louis Times says of the elec
tion in that city on Tuesday: "The
j judges of election at the various pre
cincts in several instances manifested
j the most barefaced scoundrelism in
their attempts to disfranchise Uonser- i
| vative voters. It was a noticeable fact |
that in strong Radical wards there was i
i very little difficulty experienced in
; putting voters through. But not so I
was the case at Biddlemarket. St. Lou- !
I is Hall or Justice Walther's room, for :
i these were Conservative strongholds, i
i The judges at Biddle market were Pat- 1
| rick Uahill, Henry Gamboand Michael j
! Higgins. There were times when sev- j
| eral hundred voters were in line await-1
j ing their opportunity to vote, and |
when sunset arrived no less than five i
hundred were then in line. Several
voters were rejected on the ground
| that their names could not be found on
i the lists, at the same time several citi-.
! zens offering to make affidavit that
! they had seen these men registered and :
| qualified. The lists here were not ar
i ranged alphabetically as the law pro
vides, and it required several minutes !
to examine the entire list as each name ;
was called. When sunset arrived only j
000 votes had been taken, the books
showing 2,241 qualified voters.

the election, he said that she must, by
all means, be carried over the heads of

SPECIAL NOTICES.
SCUKXCK'S SEAWEED TOXIC.— This
medicine, invented by Dr J. H. Schenck. of Phil
adelphia, is i ntcnded to dissolve the food and make
it into chyle, the first process of digestion. By
cleansing tho stomach with Schenek's Mandrake
Pills, the Tonic soon restores the appetite, and food
that could not. be eaten before using it will be eas
ily digested.
Consumption cannot be cured by Schenck's Pul
monic Syrup unless the stomach and liver is made
healthy and the appetite restored, hence the Tonic

A HUMBUG.— How often we hear
1 this expression from persons reading advertise
mints ot patent medicines, and in nine cases out of
ten they may be right. It over 19 years since I
introduced my medicine, the VENETIAN LINIMENT,
IN the public. I had no money to advertise it, so
I left it for salo with a few dfuggists and store
keepers through a small section of the country,
many taking it with great reluctance; but I told
them to let any one have it, and if it did not do
all 1 stated on my pamphlet, no one need pay for
it. In some stores two or three bottles were taken
on trial by persons present. I was, by many,
thought crazy, and that would be the last they
would sec of me. But I knew my medicine was no
humbug. In about two months I began to receive
orders for more Liniment, some calling it my val
uable Liniment, who Dad refused to sign a receipt
when I left it at their store. Now my sales are
millions of bottles yearly, and all for cash. I war
rant it superior to any other medicine for the cure
of Croup, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Colic, Vomiting,
Spasms, nnd Sea-sickness, as an internal remedy.
It is perfectly innocent to take internally (see oath
accompanying each bottle) and externally for
